Since you mAsked…

Stephanie wearing a shimmery holographic mask. Hello strangers! It's us, the Bubbly in a Teacup twins, Stephanie and Nicole. We took a hiatus from blogging about life's little luxuries because during a global pandemic, sometimes your priorities shift.

Marching to the Beat…

When I first read Little Women a few years ago, I'll admit, I thought it was duller than dull. Perhaps it was because I had been spending the past few years immersed in new motherhood, and tales of domestic bliss bored me. Or maybe it was because we never read it as children, that I … Continue reading Marching to the Beat…

End of Year Lists: Books Read

It's been a busy summer, fall, and winter! As we gear into a season of hibernation (hello, hygge life), it's fun to look back over the last year and compartmentalize every detail into an end-of-year list. Maybe not every detail. But books, movies, food, drinks...things like that, yeah. We're no Obama, but here's the list … Continue reading End of Year Lists: Books Read

Not even Semi-Homemade

If you've been following along, you know we love to entertain. Part of the fun is menu crafting, deciding what to make from scratch, what to collaborate on with the grocery store, and what to just unpackage and put on a pretty plate. Last week Stephanie hosted a Bunco party for some friends, and because … Continue reading Not even Semi-Homemade

Poolside Reads 2018

As much as we'd love to say "beach reads," living smack dab in the middle of the country doesn't always qualify us for living the beach life. But poolside, yes. And with kids who are old enough and competent enough to swim, that means L I V I N'. However, it means not being upset … Continue reading Poolside Reads 2018

Birth of Venus

The first time I remember seeing the depiction of Venus de Milo was in the movie "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". It left such an impression that when I saw the painting "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli, I was like, hey! It's like that scene from the movie! (Everything always comes back to the … Continue reading Birth of Venus
